After half a day, in the afternoon.
Under Martha's lead, Richard and the other students successfully arrived at a gathering area of the Jungle Hut.
The area wasn't very large, about the size of a village, surrounded by two main roads, one horizontal and one vertical, with wooden buildings of various heights.
Martha led everyone along the road toward the outskirts of the gathering area, then stopped and respectfully called out to a low thatched hut by the road, "Master Lilith, I have brought the students you requested. Would you like to take a look?"
"Eh?" A voice sounded, and the shaky wooden door of the thatched hut opened, a woman in her fifties stepped out. Wearing a starched, somewhat faded, brown robe, she exuded an aura of authority, but what was particularly striking was that she only had half a face.
Yes, half a face!
